3 results about "Photoelectrolysis" patented technology

Photoelectrolysis, also known as water splitting, occurs in a photoelectrochemical cell when light is used as the energy source for the electrolysis of water, producing dihydrogen which can be used as a fuel. This process is one route to a "hydrogen economy", in which hydrogen fuel is produced efficiently and inexpensively from natural sources without using fossil fuels. In contrast, steam reforming usually or always uses a fossil fuel to obtain hydrogen. Photoelectrolysis is sometimes known colloquially as the hydrogen holy grail for its potential to yield a viable alternative to petroleum as a source of energy; such an energy source would supposedly come without the sociopolitically undesirable effects of extracting and using petroleum.

Method for resourceful treatment of tailings wastewater and simultaneous recovery of valuable metals

ActiveCN120247155BEfficient degradationEnsure light energy utilization efficiencyManganeseNitrogen gas
This invention provides a method for the resource-based treatment of tailings wastewater and the simultaneous recovery of valuable metals, belonging to the field of mine wastewater treatment technology. The method includes: constructing a reaction system, which comprises a transparent reactor with a built-in working electrode, a power-free photovoltaic cell circuit system, a powered photoelectric electrolysis circuit system, and a light source; the photovoltaic cell circuit system and the photoelectric electrolysis circuit system are switched in parallel; the tailings wastewater is introduced into the transparent reactor and sealed; the light source is turned on, and only the photovoltaic cell circuit system is activated, to oxidize ammonia nitrogen into nitrogen gas and nitrate nitrogen, and recover some manganese metal; the light source is turned on, and only the photoelectric electrolysis circuit system is activated, to reduce manganese ions to recover manganese metal and reduce nitrate nitrogen into nitrogen gas. This invention provides a clean and efficient method for simultaneously oxidizing ammonia nitrogen in mine tailings wastewater and recovering valuable metals from the tailings wastewater; it utilizes an interconvertible photovoltaic cell reaction system and a photoelectric electrolysis reaction system to efficiently degrade ammonia-containing pollutants in tailings wastewater and recover manganese metal.
